Former President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump is supporting CityServe, a nonprofit to turn the churches in Ukraine into lighthouses of warmth and hope amid the devastation of war.
CityServe CEO Dave Donaldson told The Western Journal that the group is currently pushing to get as many generators into Ukraine as possible. Russian President Vladimir Putin “weaponized the winter” by targeting the country’s electrical grid, Donaldson explained.
“We literally have hundreds of generators that are now set up in churches that are literal lighthouses, and we’re trying to raise more money. It’s only $5,000 for a generator, and you think about that. In the midst of all the darkness and coldness, we can light up these churches and people like in Kherson are flocking to them,” he said.
Donaldson was just in Kherson in eastern Ukraine in January, about 15 miles from the Russian front, he said.
CityServe originally worked during her father President Donald Trump’s administration on the Farmers to Families Food program. It was a relief effort to families in need in the U.S. during COVID-19 pandemic. CityServe distributed over 17 million food boxes to needy families.
Ivanka got on board with Ukraine last year, paying for 1 million meals for war refugees, Donaldson said. CityServe then shipped another million meals. A third million meals was packed by students at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix in the fall and will ship this month.
